Description
HyBrasil II was an experiential project which explored the shifting boundaries of sand, people and wandering rocks that form the islands of our experiences.
Design Concept
The installation was created from a grid of LED fixtures. The motion graphics were sculpted from the stunning natural land and seascape surrounding the boundaries of Westport. The transient movements were designed to mimic the mesmerising motion of the waves rolling onto the shore and turning up the bedrock that lays beneath it. Stripping back the colour to a two-tone palette of white and blue directs attention towards the motion running through the light fixtures.
This project was the second in a series of the unique installation and was previously built at Inis Oírr Beach on the Aran Islands for Drop Everything. This version of the Installation was built in November 2018 at the Quays in Westport as part of Westival. Positioned at the harbours edge, the fleeting movements give an appearance of an island when viewed from the sea.
